Tips & Advice

What is an eviction notice?

An eviction notice is a legal document that landlords need to serve tenants to begin the process of having them removed the property. There are different kinds of “eviction with cause” notices that require the renter/lessor to stop violating terms of the lease, with removal from the promises as a final measure if they don’t comply. These are issued when rent is overdue, or when a tenant is in violation of a specific term of a lease. Unconditional evictions are the harshest, and usually only appropriate when a tenant is a repeat violator of a clause, or has done something illegal.There is an “eviction notice without cause,” and many states either don’t allow it, or require landlords to give extra notice--up to 60 days--from the point of serving it to the point when the actual eviction suit can begin. Before entering into an agreement, research the laws in your state.

What happens if rent is not paid on time?

If rent is not paid on time, a variety of things can happen. Sometimes a late fee will be assessed—this will be stipulated in the lease agreement. More commonly, there will be a written warning or even a few-day grace period -- especially if it’s a first-time infringement or if the rent is collected by an individual landlord rather than a management company,If rent goes unpaid for 14 days when there is no lease, the landlord will generally evict. If there is a lease, the landlord will often begin eviction proceedings at 30 days, unless a late payment arrangement has been reached.The more often someone is late with the rent, , the quicker and harsher the landlord’s actions are liable to be. A record of late payment can also negatively impact someone’s ability to get approved for future leases.

What type of maintenance is a renter responsible for?

A renter is usually only responsible for maintenance necessitated by abuse or neglect of the property. Landlord/building management is usually responsible for the rest. However, cosmetic repairs, such as changing light bulbs or washing carpets, is usually left up to the tenant. And even though a landlord might be financially responsible for other maintenance, it’s often left up to the tenant to coordinate and supervise.

What is a sublet?

A sublet is when a person who is leasing an apartment re-rents to another party. The legalities of this are very tricky, and many landlords/managers outright disallow it on the lease document. However, in situations where there’s an established lease-holder who needs to leave for a predetermined length of time, there are legal procedures to sub-lease. Not all landlords might consent, even if the primary lease holder applies in writing and follows legal procedure.It is very important that, when considering a sublet, you understand the situation between the owner and the lease-holder, because in a hostile sub-lease situation, the sub-leaser risks losing the money they paid in rent to the primary lease-holder.

Why do some rentals require first and last month rent upfront?

Some rentals require first and last month rent, because it offers the owner/landlord/building manager a feeling of security that, even in the unforeseen circumstance that the renter/lease holder stops paying the rent, the owner can still be sure to get their rent for one month.

What is a security deposit?

A security deposit is the money that a landlord or management company takes from a tenant and holds onto in a special account until the tenant vacates the unit. This money serves as the landlord/manager’s financial protection in case the tenant does not pay rent or causes damage to the unit. The standard amount is equal to one months’ rent, although it can be more in certain housing markets.

What is the difference between a lease and rental?

A rental is month-to-month, and the terms can be changed every 30 days. A lease is for a set period of time, and, during that time, the terms can’t be changed, nor the rent raised. Tenants that break a lease will be held responsible for paying rent until they or the landlord can find a new tenant.

What are some things to consider when renting an apartment?

There are many things to consider when renting an apartment: Is there available parking? What is the building security? Are there any building amenities? What are the terms of the lease? Can you have a pet?Is a parking spot included?Are utilities like water and electricity included? As for the apartment itself, make sure you know exactly what appliances and systems it has, including a refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, and central air conditioning. Are there laundry facilities, and if so, where?State laws are all different in terms of what heating and air conditioning systems are required in rental units. It is important to find out what HVAC systems are in your apartment, if any, whether the renter is expected to pay for them, and whether it’s OK to install your own if they’re not in the unit.

PLEASE DO NOT RENT HERE!I'm specifically reviewing this place so nobody goes through what I've gone through. My experience here has been a disaster and it's not worth spending your money. I've had multiple things go wrong with my apartment and even speaking with management they are incredibly rude and have even told me that I was wrong.

Great place to live! I have lived here for close to 4 years and I have really enjoyed my time here. The community is mostly students and very close to campus for easy commuting to class or sporting events. One of the great things about this complex is that it is still right there close to everything and you don't have to worry about the traffic like you would if you lived on North street in Nacogdoches. The management is great and is one of the greatest things about this complex. Denise will always do her best to make sure that you get what you need and that you feel listened to and cared for as a resident. The office staff is friendly and very helpful and I have never had to wait more than a day for a maintenance request to be fulfilled. The community is quiet and calm. The pricing is hard to beat, especially considering you don't have to worry about any bills other than electricity. These apartments are also the largest that I could find here in Nac for what you pay. I was in a one bedroom and had plenty of room for everything and even family when they came to visit. Parking is great as well. Overall I would recommend this complex to anyone looking for an affordable place to live that cares about their residents.

Maintenance is the only good thing about this place. The maintenance guys are awesome and do their best to get stuff fixed. However, when it requires outside help, they tell the manager and she refuses. I do not feel safe living here at all. Drug dealers everywhere. I even had a guy come up on my patio (I live on the second floor) and look through our sliding glass door into the apartment. Really regretting being stuck in a year contract.

Anyone who rates this apartment complex as anything higher than two stars is employed by the owner of the complex to raise their ratings. This is the WORST complex you will ever live in. It is OVERPRICED and tiny. They will scam you out of all your money. When you move in, the apartment is so DIRTY, half the appliances don't work, they take forever to get around to maintenance, and the owner parks his giant Winnebago in the parking lot and leaves it there so he doesn't have to pay for storage! It blocks up half the parking lot! They'll tell you that you $50 for cleaning when you move out, but they don't actually clean the apartment when you leave, which is obvious by the state of the apartment when you move in. And you can clean that apartment until it's spotless and smells like Pinesol and they'll still charge you! This apartment is pretty much just for students, so you can expect parties every night, and even when you make a noise complaint, they still don't do anything about it! When I moved out, they tried to charge me $100 for damages I had already noted down, and only backed off when I showed them my copy of the damage report I filled out when I moved in. Hang onto everything they give you and take pictures of the entire apartment when you move out because they will try to charge you in any way they can. The owner of this apartment complex is a shady scammer, and no one should ever live here!

I currently live in these apartments and it's hell living here. They have been working on the pipes and the water has gone out for days at a time, I understand they can not control the piping problems, but they have not been willing to work with my roommate our myself. At the start of the year they changed how we would pay rent on the paper they handed they said they will take checks. I turned in my check early and they just now informed me that they will not take my check and now I will have to pay the ridiculous late fee tomorrow. The management is awful and every time they talk to its residents they sound like they are talking down to them. I highly recommend living in a hotel before moving into this apartment.

Managing expenses is very convenient because utilities, cable and internet is covered by rent. The staff is helpful and very friendly. When they say that maintenance will arrive at three they actually come at three. My loft is very comfortable. I was very surprised by the spacious pantry and cozy kitchen nook. The complex is well groomed and the front doors alternate between 3-4 different colors so every porch doesn't look alike. I took the apartment because I needed a place fast and it was in my price range. Though I now have the opportunity to move into my first choice I can’t imagine giving up my loft.

I've been living at the Californians for about nine months, and I must admit that at first I didn't liked the Idea of living there since I had my hopes on another complex. But once I moved there and met the management staff, experienced the warm and calm environment, enjoyed the apartment, and its closeness to the school, I loved them!!! I totally recommend living at the Californian!!! I love living there!!!
